\u201cLiteral Banana\u201d on Carcinization writes Against Automaticity, which they describe as:

An explanation of why tricks like priming, nudge, the placebo effect, social contagion, the \u201cemotional inception\u201d model of advertising, most \u201ccognitive biases,\u201d and any field with \u201cbehavioral\u201d in its name are not real.

My summary (as always, read the real thing to keep me honest): for a lot of the \u201890s and \u201800s, social scientists were engaged in ttthe project of proving \u201cautomaticity\u201d, the claim that most human decisions are unconscious/unreasoned/automatic and therefore bad. Cognitive biases, social priming, advertising science, social contagion research, \u201cnudges\u201d, etc, were all part of this grand agenda.
